Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to identifying objects using audio data in combination with sensor data. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to acquiring audio data from at least one microphone integrated with the vehicle and feature data from at least one sensor of the vehicle, analyzing, using a deep learning algorithm, the feature data to generate a classification of an object embodied by the feature data. The method includes selectively refining the classification as a function of at least the audio data to further identify the object using the classification. The classification identifies at least characteristics about a shape and size of the object. The method includes controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle according to the classification.
